Edition covered

Core Final Fantasy X systems, with HD Remaster grid choices explicitly labelled. Original regional releases do not all offer identical options.

Biography

Auron previously travelled with Braska and Jecht. He brings knowledge of that earlier pilgrimage into Yuna and Tidus’s journey.

Appearance

Auron wears a red coat, carries a large sword and has a scarred face partly hidden by glasses.

Personality

He is restrained, pragmatic and deliberately selective about what he reveals. His apparent severity is tied to promises and responsibilities from the past.

Role in the story

His history becomes increasingly important as the party learns how the pilgrimage works. Several major revelations reframe his presence and decisions.

Gameplay and encounters

He is useful against armoured enemies, especially with Piercing equipment. Check the weapon ability rather than assuming high Strength alone bypasses armour, and plan around his slower early turns.
